OnePlus 6 unboxing and first look

OnePlus has three different versions ready for release, all sporting the company's new glass design.

All in all, the OnePlus 6 is an attractive device. The fingerprint scanner also returns on the rear, with OnePlus claiming that the biometric tech unlocks the device in a faster 0.2 seconds.

What helps trim those bezels down is the notch, a cutout at the top of the phone housing the camera and the earpiece.

Another Apple inspiration for OnePlus would be iPhone X-like gestures on OnePlus 6.

Our advice: buy the phone with specs you'll still love using two years from now, when you're likely to upgrade. Which also means you will keep wiping it. It has 16MP front-facing camera with Sony IMX 371 sensor, f/2.0 aperture and EIS for stable selfies. The size of the notch has been made minimal and is smaller than the one found on the iPhone X and bigger than the one found on the Essential Phone.

The OnePlus 6 starts at $529, which is a $30 increase as compared to the starting price of the OnePlus 5T. With how many people are using their phone as their primary way to surf the web and watch videos, it definitely makes the OnePlus 6 a more attractive option.

As well as these new shiny and matt designs, on the rear of the phone you'll find a new dual-lens camera which has plenty of tricks up its sleeve including the ability to add DSLR-style depth of field to photos and a 2X optical zoom. Thankfully, the 3.5 mm headphone jack remains.

The company unveiled its first ever wireless earphones called the OnePlus Bullets Wireless, which will sell for $69 (€69 / £69) from June 5.

The Fast AF sale on Amazon.in is already live for residents of India to get their hands on the device, it's said to go on until the 16th of May. After clicking, you can speak commands for playing music, getting weather info and things like that. The device is powered by Android 8.1 Oreo with the latest Oxygen OS on top of it. Generally speaking, OxygenOS is similar to stock Android, with far more customization options and a few more visual tweaks.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise since OnePlus has been announcing bits and pieces of info about the OnePlus 6 for weeks now, but the company on Wednesday finally made its new flagship smartphone official.

The OnePlus 6 marks the introduction of OnePlus' Slow Motion mode, which can capture high-definition video frame-by-frame with astonishing detail, ensuring users never miss the action. Talking of "notch", there is one in the OnePlus 6.

The Bullets Wireless are due out at some point next month. Overall, they provide 8 hours of battery backup. It's still here, ensuring those who prefer analogue, wired headphones can still use them.

Four years ago, few could have predicted that OnePlus would be where it is now. Even they are providing the Marvel's Avengers Limited Edition models for the fans only in the Indian market.

So when you open the box of the OnePlus 6, the latest flagship which will replace the OnePlus 5t, you know it won't have features that will knock your socks off.
